GitHub Actions for CI/CD

Course details

GitHub is the leading provider for software version control and, as a result, the built-in automation provided by GitHub Actions is becoming the standard for CI/CD for projects hosted on GitHub. In this course, instructor Michael Jenkins provides theory, demonstrations, and exercises for the developers who are adopting GitHub Actions for their open-source and private projects. Michael provides guidance for engineers on how to automate the complexities of software delivery so that you can focus on delivering value directly to users. Additionally, this course can complement the courses Learning GitHub Actions and Advanced GitHub Actions by demonstrating industry best practices on how to create workflows for continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment.
